Saline Bayou and Lake

Just north of Saline Lake is the Saline Bayou National River Corridor. The blue-green bayou is ideal for quiet canoeing, floating and fishing. Its crystalline waters reflect the bald cypress trees and other hardwoods on the shore, as well as the wildlife that call these grand trees home. Consider fishing for largemouth bass, white perch and sunfish while you’re there, too.  

While you’re nearby, explore Jimmie Davis State Park, which offers plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy (think: a spacious playground, biking trails and bird-watching piers). Enjoy even more scenery in nearby Natchitoches. A Cane River National Heritage Area walking tour covers centuries of Louisiana’s storied past and showcases its breathtaking architecture.
